Describes hints that might be taken into account by input methods or applications. Note that input methods may already tailor their behaviour according to the gtk-input-purpose value of the entry.

Some common sense is expected when using these flags - mixing :lowercase with any of the uppercase hints makes no sense.

This flags may be extended in the future. Input methods should ignore unknown values.
